The Conjuring is a "scary" movie based on a true event that happened to a family in the 70's. I love a good haunting movie based off true events like Amityville horror which I found to be very scary. This movie received and R rating just for being "too scary". So I was super stoked to see this I was expecting to be scared Sh@! less. Well I was disappointed again. Why the heck was this given an R rating it wasn't scary at all I didn't even jump once and I'm an easy jumper. Let's just put this in perspective my husband fell asleep and I was left to watch it alone and I still wasn't sacred lol. But after I let it sink in I decided to watch it again in hopes that maybe because I had such high hopes for this movie it distracted me from enjoying the movie. So I enlisted my 12 year old to watch it with me (Yes I know worst mother of the year award at least I pre watched it to make sure there wasn't anything to inappropriate ). I have to say even the second time it was lack luster and not so scary even my daughter was yawning. So I ask again why was this given and R rating for being "too scary"? My guess is they were making headlines and trying to stir up curiosity so people would go see the film. I am starting to realize that movie ratings are subject to political and self serving agendas. This movie should have been rated PG-13 at most. Now what I really think they should have done was include that Annabelle doll more or maybe just make a movie about that cause that was the creepiest part of the whole entire movie. My daughter and I both agree that Annabelle was a creepy story but, was also added at very odd places at the beginning and mid end of the movie. It really didn't make sense there was no reason for those parts of the movie. I understand they used that story to introduce the Ghost hunters but if your going to use such a creepy and captivating story for your intro you better make sure the main story is scarier and more captivating so that you don't have Anabelle in this case being the more memorable character of the movie. When the movie ended the most talked about part was the doll everyone was more interested in that story then the one that was told. So much so that I to was so interested in the doll that I also looked up on the inter web and found out that the Annabelle doll is real. There are a lot of stories to go with the doll so many that they could make an amazing movie. I know myself and others would line up to see it. I know there have been other doll movies like Child's Play and Dead Silence but this one is different. Not only is it based off of true events but also you can look it up it verify them. Also it was already introduced in a movie so the curiosity has already be set up. You would just need to write and amazing script and direct it well with a good ending. The way they ending The Conjuring was dumb I was expecting it to jump items and leave the music box and go into the locket and in turn take over a new domain. Which would have actually mad
e the weird and ill place scene with the ghost and the doll make much more sense. So alas another mediocre horror film getting great reviews for no reason but to make money.
